Ava's Country Cupboard Wax Melt Haul

Monday, September 14, 2015

I had been searching for a vendor to order from since I decided to venture into the vendor side of the wax world. I had been hearing great reviews of Ava's Country Cupboard and their ordering process was straightforward. So, it was an easy choice to make as the first vendor from which to make my order.

This is a combination of 2 orders that I ordered straight from the vendor's web store in late March and late April. It has been awhile, but I wanted to share it anyway.

Any melts that I have melted down or done blog posts for will be notes. I've also included any official scent descriptions that I've been able to find.

I honestly didn't like this one on cold sniff, but I did find it interesting. It smells just like the name suggests: a mix of spice, cedar wood, and floral.

On cold, the floral came out the heaviest. The floral is very realistic and very strong. Not being a floral fan, I almost passed it on to someone else. I'm so glad I didn't, because it melted so nicely. The scent notes were much more even when melted. It was like a spicy, earthy flower blossom. It was really interesting and enjoyable.

Official Scent Description: Top notes of Sweet olives, tart grapefruit, dew-covered watercress; followed by middle notes of rose, jasmine, and cassis. Sits on a down of fresh amber and myrrh. A luxury Spa type scent

NY Birthday Cake

Official Scent Description: a creamy cheesecake blended with bday cake

This lavender is more like the powdery lavender used in beauty products rather than the herbal or essential oil type lavender. I'm very picky with lavender. So, this wasn't my favorite. It did perform very well in my bedroom though.

I thought I would make a note about the ordering process and whatnot since it's another variable added when it comes to vendor wax.

Easy of Ordering:

It was really easy to order the wax. Ava's Country Cupboard has a separate website that you are able to do your order on which is a huge plus for me. I'm not the biggest fan of the vendors that operate solely on Facebook since many people don't have Facebook or want to fool with it all the time.

That being said, I do recommend joining the Facebook group as the restock schedules are announced on there along with the description of any new scents. There are also sometimes grab bags up for sale that don't make it onto the official store page and stuff like that.

Shipping:

Shipping was really fast. I always had my order within a week of my order date.

Ava's Country Cupboard also does a great deal on shipping. It's a flat rate of $3 or free for orders over $25. That's what really pulled me since a lot of vendors invoice the shipping separate or charge a high amount since they do it solely by weight.
